This is the contradiction I am referring to... technically the value of 
bar is emtpy which is more or less null. But we make the distinction 
because it is helpful to know that even though there is no value, the 
attribute bar is present. This is the same as the xmlns="" declarations. 
Technically the value means null-- literally it is empty-- and it is 
helpful to be able to distinguish between the two (at least in editor 
applications)...
